OCTOBER OFF-SEASON ESCAPES

Towards the tail end of the year comes October, another gorgeous time of year to pay a visit to Pembrokeshire. This month is strong with autumnal vibes so expect a landscape of greens combined with leaves of orange, red and yellow throughout.

October is a month made for walking boots and Wellingtons. The weather is usually fairly stable, growing colder and darker towards Halloween at the end of the month but you can’t go wrong with muddy boots and a waterproof coat. Believe us, the picture-perfect scenes that don the woodlands and countryside during these weeks are certainly worth a little bit of wet weather.

The first of the month marks the lifting of dog restrictions on beaches making it particularly popular for pet friendly breaks. Travel to any sandy shore within the county’s borders and your furry friend can roam the full extent of the bay.

Up until the end of the month when Half Term takes place, all those summer activities are still in play too. Boat trips, watersports sessions and more all run right throughout the month - perhaps not daily as they were during the summer holidays, but they haven’t shut up shop for the season just yet. So take advantage whilst you still can and book that boat trip to sightsee Caldey!

October for us is all about being cosy; we love that moment of stepping inside a toasty cafe or pub for a warming coffee and a hearty meal. Some of the best seasonal produce is available around about now, so head to the local farm shops to pick up apples and blackberries to make a homemade crumble or venture to the nearby restaurants to check out their chef’s soup of the day.
